MR.. MlNNING'S SUCCESSOR
70 BE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
FAlRCHILD.
His Appointment to Be Officially
Announced the Latter Part
of the Week.
SPECULATI0NS AS TO FAIR
CHILB'S SUCCESSOR.
The Interstate Commission to Or
ganize Next Week-The Sara
tOga's Mishap..

WASHINGTON, March Sit is now
regarded as settled that Assistant Sec
rotary Fairchild will succeed Mr.. Man
ming as Secretary OF the Treasury, and
that his appointment will be officially
announced the latter part of next
week. Solicitor McCue ard Comp.
troller Maynard are spoken of as posi-
bic successors of Mr.. Fairchild as AS
sistant Secretary. The former, how
ever, is said to prefer the new Circuit
Judgi ship in New York City, and the
latter is understood to prefer his pres-
ent position. 10 the event that Cor
porstion Counsel Lacombe, OF New
Yoik, should receive the Circuit Judge
ship it is believed that Mr.. McCue
wou d accept the Assistant Secretary
chip. Third Auditor Williams and
Chi Clerk Youmans are also said to
bs aspirauts to that office. Nothing
has yet been settled in regard to the
Treas urership. Mr.. Jordan's resi9ns-
ton has not yet been sccepted, and,
while he request: d the President to
relieve him OF the duties and RESPONSE.
bilities of the cfile about the Sd OF
April, it is thought he would consent
to retain the position while longer If
the President so desired. The chances
are. however, that the President will
b. able to select his successor before
the date specified by Mr.. Jordan. It
is said that the President desires to ee-
lect q new Treasurer from the West.

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH
Ii In No Alarming COnditiOn-His
Exercise.

Private Secretary Lamont, in one OF
his semi.offic ial interviews, said yes
terdsy that there was no occasion for
alarm about the Presidents physical
condition; that he really took more
exercise than was generally known,
and quite euough to insur coed bodily
health. There the discreet Daniel
stopped. He did not tell what is true
that the President has had rugged
up in an unused room in the Execu.
tive Mansion a private gymnasium.
TIE apparatus is not elaborate, but
it is of the right sort, and for
a mouth the President has had ell.
most daily practice. His Instructor is
an EnglishmsD, we'll known about
town, and now holding subordinate
position in the Geological Survey. The
Engagement came about through Sec.
rotary Lamar and Secretary BIyard,
who have both at times taken boxing
lessons from the Englishman. The
President Conhded 10 them his gym.
nasium idea, and they at once recom.
mended the instructor. 0ne part OF
the apparatus consists of ropes sus.
pended from the ceiling, with large
rings at the ends. The rings the Presi-
dent can just reach by raising on his
toes. He grAsps them and sways for.
ward and backward until he hes to let
90 for breath. The room also contains
a horiz ontsl bar, on which the Pfesi-
dent swings by holding up his
feet. His favorite practice, how
ever, is with the boxing gloves,
the bouts being interpreted with
the one, two, three, four CslistheniCs.
The gymnas UNI hour became a reg
ulsr part of the White House routine
four weeks ago, just about the time
Mr.. Manning broke down 30 com
pletely the last time. From 5 10 6
O'Clock in the afternoon is the time
the President has been taking for
gymnasium practice while the weather
is bad. To this he has added q half
hour in the morning sinca he began
to feel the good effects of the exer-
else. He has cut down his weight
seventeen pounds. The instructor goes
to the White House three times a
week, being let in by the Waterman
from the gate near the White House
stables. There really isn't any need
for 30 much secrecy, but it is Mr..
Cleveland's way.

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
To Organize Next Week-AlI the
Com an issi0ners at WnshinRtOn

All the members of the Interstbta
Commerce Board are in the city, and
the immediate organic ltion of the
board is expected. 1t is not thought
that The Commission will bs ready to
perform its functions in full for some
time to come, as the exact construc.
ton to be placed upon this various
provisions Of the law is at pres nt 8
mater OF grave doubt. IL will be
necessary for it to perfect the psrma-
nent organization Of the bosrd. This
will require come time, as it is impos-
sible to judge beforehand of the duties
which will be r quired Of the Commits
sioners. There is 8 rest deal of pat
ronsge to be disposed of, and by the
time everything is in thorough work
ing order the Interstate Commerce
Commission will prove bureau Of
no small Importance in the
civil service Of government. A ques-
ton has arisen as to the right OF
the Commissioners to draw salaries
from the 18th of January last. The
appropriation was made from that
date, and it is held by some of the
cffic ais OF the Treasury that Oh tbs
LIST Of April there will be due to each
member ons-fourth of years salary.
II this proves TO be the case it is prob
able that Mr.. Morrison will be made
an exception, as he was member of
Congress at that time, and under the
constitution could not he appointed to
an office created by The CONGRESS Of
which he YVES a member. On the
other hand Comptroller Durham held
that "Sunset" Cox was entitled to sal
airy as minister to Turkey, as we'll as
t. pay as member of Congress from
the date OF the resignation of Mr.. pulit-
Ter, in spite of the fact Inst Mr.. Cox
voted to increase the compensation OF
Minister 10 Turkey under the same
clause of the constitution he could not
legally be appointed to a position the
compensation of which was increased
by the Congress Of which he was a
member. There are said to be nearly
a nund1ed applications for clerkships
under the Commission already flsd.

THE NICE EARTHQUAKE.
The Secretary or state Receives 1
Graphic Account.

uE0PhlO AOCVhhts
The Secretary OF State has received
from Mr.. Hathaway, United States
Consul at Nice, dispatch dated the
"a instant, containing an account
of the earthquake which occurred at
that city on the 23d of February last.
Mr.. Hathaway states that the phe.
nomena was most distinctly percep.
tible at three minutes 10 o'clock in
the morning. The vibrations were
verticle, longitudinal and irsnsversal,
and OF not less than thirty conds in
duration. The massive stone build
ings of the city were then moved,
lifted and shaken, as it seemed to their
occupants, like ships at sea or trees
struck by tempestous wind. The
inhabitants at the time were YEARLY
sleeping after the excitement and
festivities of the carnival. The first
shock was followed by another of
somewhat lessened intensity, undu.
latirg from east to west, and laccom-
panied by a noise in tho air like the
blowing of the "mistral." The sound
OF falling walls and the terrified
voices OF the people mingled in alarm.
The sky became illumined with red,
glimmering light, apparently electric
in it's quality and unusual at dawn.
The entire population, half clothed,
wire in the streets; many were quiet,
firm and courageous-other5 were
trembling and unnerved. At 1886
o'clock am. a third shock was felt,
more intense than the preceding,
which consummated the excitement
The railway station then became
crowded with fugitives pressing for
escape to Marseilles and Paris; some
sought the more open streets and the
public squares, few obtained car
riages for shelter, and some, less fear.
full, watchfully remained in the base
ments of their dwellings or hotels.
The weather was warm and cloudless.
Happily but one life was lost, as the
immediate result Of this disaster. A
municipal co mittee, entrusted with
the protection of all damaged house,,
have reported that, of the $1,000 build
ings in Nice, three have been demol-
ished, eight must be taken down, fifty
are in danger, and 800 are cracked
and otheIwi @ damaged. The actual
loss to real property alone is EST
mated at 100000 francs. The Ma,
tional Chamber Of Deputies has voted
100000 francs for the relief of the
poor. Not only Nice and its neigh
borhood, bat the whole coast, from
Genoa to Msrseilles, was more or lees
sfIl cted by the earthquake. But few
of the transient population of Nice
remain in that city.

The land was granted to Francifc)
Mentes Vigil in the year ITO, but the
Surveyor General finds no evidence
that the grantee ever entered into
it's actual possession. On the contra
ny it has notoriously long been occu.
pied by large numbers Of people in
villages and in ranches, who would
be dispossesseS OF any rights
acquired by long and peacesble occu.
psncy. The Surveyor General recon-
msnds the rejection Of the claim and
the Commissioner conours therein.
The Surveyor General OF New Mexico
recommends the rejection OF
the claim to the NuestIa Sonora
Del Pillar tract, No. 80, cover
ing $4,000 acres, on the ground
that the present claimants fail to con-
meet themselves in any way with tbs
alleged grantees, aud fail to show
that the grantees ever complied with
the conditions Of the grant. Commits
sioner Sparks concurs in the recc M
mendstion, and has prepared the
pspsIs for transmission to Congress.
The following is one Of the large num-
Der OF similar cases pending bsfore
the Land Office: Alexander Deville
is claimant, under the homestead
law, to a tract of land in Louisiana,
which is within the thirty mile limit
of the grant made to the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad
in 1871, which land was withdrawn
from settlement in that year. Deville
alleges that he settled on the land in
1882 and is'still residing thereon. In
1887, a portion OF the grant was for
feited and the act provided that all
lands occupied by actual settlers at
the date of the definite location of the
road in 1883, and still occupied by
them, be deemed exempted from the
grant. The Commissioner has ordered
that the claimant be cited to hearing
to show proof of actual occupancy at
the date last named, and that the COM
psny be afforded an opportunity to
rebuff the came, declaring that if the
proof be sufficient, the land will be
held subject to entry by claimant.
The following Ia also one of consid-
cradle number Of cases pending: John
s. Delucb, jr., made presumption
Fl ing in 1884 upon land, portion OF
which was subsequently by Executive
order reserved for the use of the
Navajo indians The portion OF the
claim 30 reserved is ordered to be held
for cancellation and the claimant is in
formed that he will have sixty days
in which to appeal to the Secretary OF
the Interior.

SECRETARY LAMAR
Renders a Decision in the swamp
Land Acta.

Lana Actbs
The Secretary OF the Interior todsy
rendered a decision in the matter OF
the claim OF the State of Louisiana
under the swamp lard acts Of 1S49
and 1850, or appeal from the decision
of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office of November q, 1885,
which refused the application of the
State to have al lands listed to said
State that are described by the field
notes ss Glow prairie, not arabic"
mot fit for GU tivstion," "bottom
lands" low lands" or slow we. lands"
for the reason that the lands 60 de-
scribed were not necessarily swamp
and overlooked lands made unfit
thereby by cultivation, as required by
the granting acts. The Secretary d.
reefs the Commissioner to advise
counsel for the State that it can elect
whether the fisld notes of survey
shall be made tee basis of the final
adjustment of the grants, and in
case such election is maze the
Commissioner js directed to pro.
coed to list any tracts that appear
by the field notes 10 be clearly Of the
character granted, unless there ia rea-
son to bslieve that the field notes and
survey are falss and fraudulent.
Where the field notes of survey have
been made since the passage and the
act of l849, and with reference there
to, they will be held to enttle the
State prima fscie to the lands returned
as swamp and over flowed, without the
additional words "mads unfit thereby
for cultivation" but where made be.
fore thu passage of this act all the de-
ecIiptive words in the grant, or words
clearly of like import, must appear,
and where they do not 20 appear tie
State must show by other satisfactory
evidence that the lands claimed were
Of the class contemplated by the grant.
II the State does not elect to take by
the field notes of survey, the Com.
missioner is advised that the State
should be allowed to furnish satisfac-
tory proof that the lands claimed
were swamp and oveIfowed, and
rendered thereby unfit for cultivs-
ton at the date of the grant.
The Secretary directs that the
State be required to desig-
nate specifically the act under
which she claims, and should she elect
to furnish additional testimony show
ing the character OF the particular
tracts named the Commissioner will
transmit to the Secretary for approx
al lists of such lands as the evil
dence shows the State to be entitled
TO under said acts. This decision con-
ours in the conclusions of the Com
missioner as to the effect Of the field
notes above indicated as Glow wet
lands" etc., and in addition thereto
foTmulates as rule as stated for his
guidance in adjusting these swamp
land claims.

YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED
BY TRAMPS on A PUBLIC HIGH.
WAY
After a Desperate Struggle, as the
Ground About the Scene Showed
The Maddox Murder.

RAILWAY, N. j., March Pa hor-
rible murder occurred here some time
las. night. At an early hour this
morning a farmer who was driving
into the city found the dead body of a
we'll dressed woman lyiFg at one side
OF j. fferson avenue. Her throat was
cut from ear to ear and her dress and
wrap were completely soRked with
half dried blood. The news OF the
horrible discovery spread rapidly
throughout the city, causing intense
excitement. DIR. James s. Green, OF
Euzabeth, county physician of Union
county and brother OF Gov. Greer,
was telegraphed for and visited the
scene OF the murder. He said the
young woman had undoubtedly made
a desperate struggle for life, as the
soft earth was torn up for some dis.
lance around the body. On one side
OF the body lay small basket filled
with fresh eggs. The girls hands were
torn and scratched. Death re-
suited from the terrible wound
in the throat. An excited crowd
Of men and women, numbering several
hundred, was to be seen grouped
about the body. DR.. Green decided
not to remove the body until it had
been photographed as 1t lay in the
huge pool Of blood and orderd pho
togrspher to visit the scene OF tine
murder and take number OF views
of the body, tho tramped ground and
the surroundings. TIE girl was about
90 years old and he. appearance indi-
Gates that che wss Of German birth,
she was we'll dressed. Up to noon the
body had been viewed by aeveIal
thousand persons, but mono could
identity it. 1t is thought that the
girl lived at service in the country and
walked to the city last night for the
purpose Of selling the basket OF eggs.
The euppcsition is that she was muir
dered by tramps.
The body was removed to an under
taking establishment, where the
clcthing was removed. The body was
terribly bruised about the srms and
breast. Some of the black snd blue
spots were at leas, four inches squire
The arms were twisted into unnatural
positions, az if the poor woman had
been held when the last blow was
struck. The woman Is an err
tire stranger here. The knife
which the murderer used was found
in a fsld about sixty feet from the
body. 1t is a chesp shell handled
weapon with two blades. TWAS open,
aud one OF the blades, which was abodt
three inches long, was covered with
dried blood. A post mortem exami.
nation was made, and it showed that
the dead woman had not been raped.
The inquest will be held Monday. As
no clew to the murderer has been
been found.
